Food Files | Le Café Gourmand

Many of you contacted me about the Sprout by HP station to ask me how easy it was to use. So I used the creativity station in my new ‘Food File’ post about a very French dessert : Le Café Gourmand.

Le café gourmand is a French dessert that you order in any fancy restaurant in France. It’s a plate or tray composed of an expresso coffee and small sweet bites. I always order a café gourmand when I travel back home, but also love to make them for my guests when we have company at the house. The result is always a “hoo-haa” from the guests!

If you are into cooking, you can prepare your own desserts [here I made a simple red fruit salad with whipped cream topping], but you can also purchase already made delicatessen [like here a macaron or a lemon square] and dispose them on your tray.

And here is my recipe recap sheet for the café gourmand made with my Sprout by HP station. Easy, peasy, right? Bon appétit!
